Silly? The ones this year were very smart. I wanted to wear mine all day! Lol

Is there any way of knowing how many enter this???

yes but i'm not sure if we are allowed to say or not ! (will find out)

what I'm sure I can say is there is already over double the entries they had last year and a while to go until closing date yet

I would like to know if Agronomists can nominate operators, if not at present there ought to be a class where they can! agronomists know those
operators who get the job done and really care for the business they work for!

Ok I need to nominate 3 operators for this comp but I need to do it without my signature, tell me how to
do it please admin.

As an independent agronomist this info request could cause me problems.

There are qualifying questions to answer to help syngenta judging panel to select the finalists so you can't really do that for them just point them in the right direction


they should do it, great thing for any sprayer operator to have on his CV even if they don't win

It closed for entries at 5 yesterday.

Morning all, please check you emails as Second Round of FSOOTY 2016 is now underway.

 

[Chris F]

The Second Round ends on Friday 19th February at 17:00.

 

[llamedos]

Syngenta have announced that Two judges will be Andrew Myatt & Iain Robertson
Also dont forget Sunday is the deadline to submit round 2 answers and top tips!

 

[Beretta]

Good luck to all in round 2.

After reading most of this thread those who do not like this competition I feel do not understand what it is about. It is not just about your farm or store or loading areas. It is your knowledge of chemicals how to deal with them, Health and Safety and the list goes on.

You do not have to have the best equipment or store, as many who do never win, but your knowledge and how to deal with situations and innovation will put you at top of tree.

Sorry I could not make the judging this year but look forward to next.

Have never done anything like this before and so far it's been an experience and yet it's hardly started!! Not convinced will get past round 2 myself but will try.

I agree with beretta it doesn't matter wether it's all singing and dancing or standard it's what you do with it to achieve a high standard. And most of all enjoy the experience good luck to all.
